An American style imperial IPA brewed with Citra, Simcoe, Columbus, Cascade and Mosaic hops. Hardcore Chimera is then dry hopped with over a pound of hops per BBL. Ringing in with over 80 IBU’s, Hardcore Chimera’s intense aroma and flavor of passion fruit and citrus is balanced out against a hearty grain bill that lends to the beer’s deceptively drinkable 9% ABV.

Fra boks på RBHD-treff ombord på Fridtjofen jan-17: lett uklar kobbergylden med flott skum. Lett uklar oransjegylden med ok skum. Snev av muggen appelsinmarmelade, i tillegg til rå malt, kornblanding, brøddeig og råtnende gress. Smaken er desverre bare maginalt bedre. Merkelige greier til en amerikanske imp. ipa å være, og slett ikke god å drikke.
